Cross Stitched Apple Earrings

"I love the look of cross stitched items, so I crocheted my own and cross stitched a fun apple on it. This is perfect for back-to-school, teacher gift, or fall in general. You can change out the apple color and background color to suit your preference – maybe you want it on a black background to simulate a chalkboard, or perhaps you love green apples more than red."
